Review Bulldogs secure 6th place with a huge win against the Plastics.

[doggiesin08]

Jones' tackle was a single motion, no sling. The AFL want you to pin one arm, then if you don't drop it it's holding the ball. Surely Cadman is expected to drop the ball and protect his fall. Otherwise the AFL is just encouraging you to play for a free and put your head in danger.

If he gets a week we will appeal and Bevo will get very very vocal.

A little perplexed at the G is not our home ground so should play at Marvel vibe.

It's the G! And it's a final. Every day of the week I'd choose the G over Marvel, as a spectator and a player (if I was one).

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

Dogs: great win, make finals
Fox: but what if we immediately cut away to Carlton running though the banner

Did the exact same thing yesterday after the hawks game. Wanted to see Shiels get chaired off instead we got to see Richmond run through the banner

Are we thinking it's gonna be a Saturday day game? Last year Saints and GWS finished 6th and 7th.

So happy for CD and Macrae! Club legends.

Jones only had one arm in the tackle - cadman was awkward

I think an important part of any case will be that Jones other hand was really only on his hip, not even grabbing his jumper to drag him down. It was 1 arm + the momentum.

Whilst it looked similar to what Ash was suspended & appeal failed on, he had basically both arms pinned on Young by the end of the tackle. The head contact to the ground was worse and it also happened not long before half time, so who knows if Young had a HIA during the break (I’d say it was very likely).

Cadman got straight up & wasn’t affected, didn’t go off for a HIA.

A fine at most.

Rubbish, lazy reporting trying to compare the Ash full blown sling where Young smashed his head in the turf v. the Jones/Cadman incident.

Reckon Thursday or Saturday night maybe?

I think plenty of us are of the same mind but it is absurd that we 'win' the right to host a final and we are forced to play it at the other teams home ground.

It's the AFL media. By sunset they'll have Jones in the stocks and then we'll have to endure the sweeping grandiose take your hand off it editorials for the next 24 hours by these hacks who love this s***

Nice win dogs.

See ya in 2 weeks

At our home ground… oh wait.

 

[lachy]

Proud of Arty, was good in his involvements. West back for finals, does he sneak in ahead of McNeil (who was quiet today)

Mc Neil quiet?? Clearly not watching defensive efforts, blocks all the things VDM allegedly does, only doing then well

Should have been HTB. Cadman is meant to attempt to dispose or drop the ball immediately but instead he holds onto it with everything he’s got.

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

Macrae and Daniel showed why they are still so valuable in clutch games.
Libba was amazing.
Very good game from English.
I love Freijah

Hope Naughty’s knee is ok.
Hope Jones doesn’t get suspended.
Hope Treloar’s calf holds up.

Full-strength GWS will be harder to beat.

Keep up this pressure and we can beat anyone.

I’d say

• Brissy v. Blues/Dockers Thursday night
• Sydney v. GWS Friday Night
• Dogs/Hawks Saturday arvo
• Power/Cats Saturday Night

 

[TylerDurden]

Sat night at the G apparently.

The G is however the Hawks home ground so it is legit bullshit that they get a home final despite finishing lower.

Thursday game will be a qualifier, Sydney v 4th

I wish it was our home ground.

We can play more important games at the G later..... playing at the oppositions home reduces our chances

Where did you hear that mate

 

[Next Waiting]

The G is however the Hawks grand final so it is legit bullshit that they get a home final despite finishing lower.

I get it. But I hope the players mindset is that they want to play there as much as I want to watch them play there. Quietly confident.

Would be pretty shocked if Jones was playing the first final, sadly. Hard to see him getting off.

Conversely, I’m perplexed at this notion that we should want to play at the G. We played 12 games at Marvel and only 2 at the G - this year and most years.
All I care about is winning. Couldn’t give a toss about the spectacle of playing a final there. If we finish above our opposition we should be afforded a rightful advantage. I wouldn’t be so strongly against it if we were playing a neutral opponent but being forced to play Hawks at their home ground is a joke.
